Anyone else buy this ? Let me set the record straight on the media's follow-up reports of the great event: Despite what CNN reported, decisions about not allowing cameras at the event were the prerogative of the sponsors of the event, and I, of course, respected their decision. She respected the decision so much that she included a cell phone photo from the event in the post ... from an event that...

Not exactly a glowing review of the Palin out-of-town opening in West Allis: Palin had remarks prepared but frequently wandered off-script to make a point, offering audience members a casual “awesome” or “bogus” in discussing otherwise weighty topics .
